Derexon Sterling is the best officer in training of the Academy in the Union, a new society of peace and order after a great war. So, when he is sent to undergo an undercover mission in the Union's worst enemy, Night City, he isn't too worried. All he has to do is pose as a bodyguard for the president's son, and take him back to the Union. He doesn't expect a bodyguard to already be there…and a girl. Ashrynn is different than any other girl Derexon's met before, she's bold, brave, and totally out of his league. Still, is he willing to betray the society that raised and trained him for a life full of shocking thrills?
